STOCKS REACH HIGHER FIGURES Market Tone Irregular During Initial Hour. NEW YORK, March 28.—The stock market was Irregular at the opening today, but the general trend of prices was to higher figures. Fears of possible unfavorable dividend developments resulted In heavy pressure In a number of cases. Sears-Roebuck declined 1% points to 68. Kelly-Sprlngfleld was off 1% points to 38, and Industrial Alcohol 3% points to 65%. A. G. & W. I. was also in supply, falling nearly 1 point to 39. The motors were buoyant. Chandler advancing nearly 2 points to 83%. Studebaker rose 1% points to 79%. Houston Oil continued in demand, advancing 1% points to 83%. Pacific Oil advanced % of a point to 37%. Mexican Petroleum, after advancing to 149, fell back to 148. Steel common rose from 82% to 82%. Crucible yielded fractionally to 90%. Improvement in the February earning statements was reflected in a better tone in the rails. Kansas City Southern rose 1% points to 25% and other rails showed fractional upturns. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —March 28— A moderate volume of business Saturday was perfectly natural In view of the absence of many traders. Nevertheless, there was a fairly active market in limited number o' issues. The professional element took an early stand against the market, but did not meet with, much success in depressing values. A few stocks displayed weakness, but, due to special reasons applicable In the individual case, Kelly-Sringfleld Tire and Sears-Roebuck showed losses, the selling being on the theory that the present dividends are not safe. American Smelting and Refining was under moderate pressure. The controversy between some stockholders and the management is having an unfavorable effect on sentiment in relation to this Issue. The market as a whole, however, displayed a good undertone. There was a fair demand from commission houses, and this demand should gradually increase, since It is becoming dally more apparent that general conditions are improving, improvement being noted In various sections of the country and in the various lines. All we need now is Improvement in Europe. TWENTY STOCKS AVERAGE. NEW YORK, March 28.—Twenty industrial stocks averaged 77.13. off .26 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 71.06, up .16 per cent.

WHEAT FUTURES BULGE SHARPLY Chief Influence Reports of Crop Damage. CHICAGO, March 28.—Wheat bulged sharply late in the day, due to reports emanating from the Southwest, which claimed crop damage as a result of the recent drop in temperatures. The posting of the visible supply for the week, which showed a decrease of 3,818,000 bushels also stimulated late support. Provisions closed lower. Resting spots for March wheat were at gains of 3%@3%e. May advanced 2c. May and July corn were l@%c up, while September was %o higher. May oats advanced %@%c, July %@%c and September %@%c. —March 28 — (By Thomson & McKinnon.) Wheat—lt is assumed that the wheat plant has not had sufficient growth to permit damage by freezing temperatures which have overspread the entire belt. Nonetheless, there has been fair character of demand for the July delivery on the theory that the crop is not yet made, also, on the belief that $1.15 to $1.25 will represent the average price of this year’s crop, even if present crop outlook be fulfilled. Cash wheat has ruled slow with milling demand unimportant and export business confined to previous sales. However, the entire market has been strengthened by the visible supply showing. Today's decrease of around 4,000,000 bushels makes the total slightly under 21,000,000 bushels, as against an average on April 1 of 48,000,000 bushels. Economic conditions are still a factor to the extent of stopping or reducing to a minimum all provisions for furture need, but we again submit to you the fact that economic conditions are not increasing the available supply of wheat or the movement from the country. We suggest that economies and crop prospects have had due Influence and that more attention should be directed to the fact that only 12.000.000 bushels of wheat are in Western terminal markets, and iu immediate position to meet an improved demand. Corn aud Oats—The action cf the coarse grains market creates the idea that prevailing price* have discounted the heavy accumulations, the enormous farm reserves and the slow demand. We wish to mention, however, that this is probably a temporary matter, for the reason that the accumulations in elevators are bodged by sales of the May delivery and unless shipping demand Improves materially deliveries will be made on these sales. We see nothing In the situation to indicate permanent strength iu either corn or oats. I’rovlsions —Not only Is there very little new interest In the provision market, but smaller packers appear to lie hedging products. This market is decidedly In need of a better outlet for warehouse accumulations. CHICAGO GRAIN. —March 28— WHEAT— Open. High. Low. Close.

Falls for Village ‘Vamp’ Cheats Uncle and Goes to ‘Pen’ DETROIT, March 28.—'‘The Village Vamp," a $12,000 production. John Middledltch, postmaster of Lonn, •Mich., took the leading role in such a play and a result received a three-year sentence at Ft. Leavens worth In which to reflect. John, according to the testimony, served twelve years as postmaster of Lnnn. The village is one of those quaint, plcturosqne country towns, situated at a crossroad in Lapeer County, of the sort where everybody obtains drinking water from the town pnmp in front of the general store. John was a respectable cltlaen, stood high in the community and—then it happened. He fell for the village vamp of a neighboring village. Into her clutches crept the postmaster, his testimony revealed. Her heart’s desire was an automobile, a phonograph and new furniture. Unable to resist her languorous eyes and itching palm, the helpless postmaster fell, the testimony showed, and making out money orders to himself, cashed them, using the money to purchase the obpects of her desire. Postal authorities discovered Mlddlodltch’s shortage and haled him before the court. Judge Tuttle sentenced him to three years In Ft. Leavenworth. GASOLINE USED IN WAR. Q.

Russia plans to resume trading, not only ln this country but with foreign nations, M. Leshava said: “Naturally we cannot use money just yet In our internal commerce. However, we Intend to return to the money standard. Commerce will be carried on upon the money standard and it is being so ordered by the soviet government. Merchants will repay to the state In goods that they get from the peasants aud other customers will pay In goods for products they receive. “It Is probable that the small business people will be under the control of the cooperative society. The foreign trade board will act as ngent of the cooperatives In foreign countries. “The co-operatives will control the distribution of all goods bought, both local and foreign. The co-operatives will Immediately give the peasants some manufactured articles on credit from the government. “When confidence Is established the peasants will pay In products. “As to government concessions, they must be approved as follows: "First, to the department to which the concession belongs; second, by the foreign trade board, and third, by the committee of commissars of which Nicolai Lenin Is the chairman. “The concessions require foreign capital to strengthen our Industries. Without It our social and economic development would be Interfered with.” The announcement that the soviet government will adopt the monetary system of the “capitalistic governments” does away with one of the most revolutionary reforms inaugurated by the Bolshevist authorities In Russia. After the establishment of the soviet federal government, it was stated that the old monetary system would be done away with and that goods of all kinds would be used as the medium of exchange and barter. It was declared that the financial systems of the “bourgeoise" countries was one of the chief causes of sufferings of the working class. However, while money was ordered abolished, the government continued to print paper rubles. They were not used in the distribution of such food and clothing and fuel ns the government rationed. These supplies were doled out upon a system of cards, the status of the applicant determining the amount he should receive.

NEW PORTUGAL IS ALIVE TO HER OPPORTUNITIES United States Minister Says Enterprise of Country Commendable. CITES TRADE INTERESTS WASHINGTON, March 28.—“ Portugal Is today alive as it has not been for centuries,” declared Col. Thomas H. Birch, United States minister to Portugal, on the eve of his return to his post in that country after a two months' leave of absence here, the first vacation he has enjoyed In five years. “The Inst twenty years have served to demonstrate the faliacy of that terrific fatalistic dogma too long widely held as a matter of national belief, that nations, like men, are doomed irrevocably to grow old, to die and to pass away. j “Italy in Europe and Japan in are proof to the contrary. The revival of Italy and of Japan are things of yesterday; that of Spain and Portugal are true no less today. The re-creation of Portugal promises to rank her high among those new nations to which the war has flung wide the portals of the future. PROUD OF U. S. RELATIONS. “It is unfortunate that we in the United States do not know more than we do about this worth-while natlou of 5,000,000 people. As conditions return to norma] we will have the opportunity to dex'elop an immense trade with this republic because their people like and trust us. They are proud of their association with us in the World War, and proud that they were able to offer us the use of the Azores as a naval base during the war. “War teaches geography and enforces loyalty. The United States has definitely entered upon that most fascinating and profitable adventure, the rediscovery of Europe. Portugal forms one of the bridgeheads of the Atlantic; one of the western portals of Europe, and its position is unrivaled in southwestern Europe. The possibilities for our trade are almost unlimited. Portugal In the past was outside the tide, of real world business. All that Is changed. Today the country from end to end Is alive, eager to see, to know and Is ready and willing to buy. MARKETS OPEN TO AMERICA. “It is well for the American business nan who thinks of supplying the Portuguese market to remember that, though ihe country is not the largest in Eu<ope, iis markets are epen for all that America has to offer and all that Americans themselves require. There Is need for the meeting of the primary needs of clothing, food, of tools and implements for work, machinery for development and the wants of the masses. > j “The people as a whole have prospered, their manner of life has improved ana Iheir needs are consequently greater,* There is a middle class with a growing demand for all the -fomforts and conveniences of full middie-class liffe. and there is a wealthy, refined and highlyeducated upper class having the teste and ! the means for the purchase of ail the luxuries in the great cities like New Y'ork. I.ondon and Paris. “Thus the market Is xvide and a widening one. Nothing that America may have to send but may here find place so long as prices are right and the cost and means of transport do not render them prohibitive, for the Portuguese people like good things, will have them If they hut see them, and the prepared both tc appreciate and pay for them. LISBON AWAKENS TO NEW LIFE. “The fine old city of Lisbon, asleep fol years, has awakened to a ne.w life. In feverish haste, notwithstanding the present cost of materials and labor, anew Lisbon Is being run up with fine public buildings, hospitals, banks and exchanges. Five new bank buildings are | under construction and more than 10C modern apartment houses are being buih to help house the rapidly Increasing population. New factories hare been reared and others enlarged to afford facilities for Lisbon’s growing industries. “The San Carlos Theater, which has' been closed since the fall of the monarchy. recently was opened to receive the Pavlowa Russian Ballet Company and even compared with the days of tha monarchy; there was a record attendance. The opera season is proving a great success. “The. Lisbon of tomorrow will be a city that shall fit the capital to once again renssume its lost place as the finest port of southwestern Europe, the portico of the peninsula, a Junction for the world trade, of tomorrow with the two Americas, North and South, with Africa, with the Mediterranean and with the Far East.”
